Crafting Freedom

Greetings during Black History Month. Dr. Peter H. Wood, a long time historian advisor and presenter with the Crafting Freedom Institute, has recently published a "reboot" or 50 Year anniversary edition of BLACK MAJORITY, his classic study of slavery in the colony of South Carolina during the pre-Revolutionary period. I highly recommend this book to all Crafting Freedom alumni and others. You can find this edition on-line at the usual book sellers. Not only is it a great example of well researched history, it is very readable and underscores the vital role Blacks played in the development of the state of South Carolina, especially because of their expertise in rice cultivation .
